What to Give

Donating appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds is simple and often provides you with significant tax benefits.

Donating appreciated real estate, such as a home, vacation property, farmland, commercial property or undeveloped land is a way to save on taxes and reduce ownership responsibilities.

An IRA charitable rollover, also known as an IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), allows you, if you are 70½ and older, to reduce your taxable income by making a gift directly from your IRA.

Donating part or all of your unused retirement assets such as an IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension or other tax-deferred plan may eliminate both income and estate taxes.

A gift of cash is a simple and easy way for you to make a gift.

A gift of your life insurance policy is an excellent way to make a gift to charity. If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider making a gift of your insurance policy.

A gift of mineral interests (oil, gas, gold, silver, or other precious metals) is an excellent way to make a charitable gift.

As a business owner, you have the opportunity not only to build your business and accumulate wealth for yourself and your family, but also to accomplish your philanthropic goals through charitable planning.
